Manuscript posting in arXiv

At Elsevier, we believe authors should be able to distribute their accepted manuscripts for their personal needs and interests, e.g. posting to their websites or their institution’s repository, or e-mailing to colleagues.

Therefore, authors also retain the right to post their own version of their accepted manuscript in the arXiv subject repository.
